Looking for the best Shopify agency in Barcelona? Here's our record

Solo Media Group is one of the best Shopify agencies for Barcelona brands that want a Platinum-tier partner with a proven migration record. Platinum is the highest of Shopify's five partner tiers.

• 500+ merchant projects since 2018, including 75+ replatforms and new builds.
• 4.9 on Clutch from 48 reviews and 5.0 on the Shopify Partner Directory from 38.
• A US-based team, which helps when a Spanish brand is ready to launch in the US.

Is your Shopify store ready for Spain's 2026 rules?

Most Spanish Shopify stores we review miss at least one of these. Each one is part of our build checklist:

The withdrawal button is the one most stores miss. Shoppers already have 14 days to cancel without giving a reason. Since June, they must also be able to do it through a clearly visible button that stays available for the whole period, according to consumer group OCU. OCU also noted that Spain hadn't transposed the directive when it took effect. That's a reason to build the button now rather than wait.

On prices, Spain's consumer law asks for "el precio final completo, incluidos los impuestos," the full final price including taxes. Spain's general IVA rate is 21%.

Taking payments and shipping orders in Spain

Selling from Barcelona to the rest of Europe

VAT across the EU. Once your sales to consumers in other EU countries pass €10,000 a year, you charge each buyer's local VAT rate. You can report it all in one quarterly One-Stop Shop (OSS) return, form 369.

Shopify Tax calculates EU VAT at checkout and shows your obligations country by country. It doesn't file returns for you. Shopify's older Basic Tax is only available to stores that were set up to collect EU tax before 13 May 2026.

Customs. Orders shipped from Spain to other EU countries pay no customs duty. Non-EU brands now pay a €3 duty per tariff line on parcels up to €150 entering the EU, a change that took effect on 1 July 2026. Barcelona brands don't pay it within the EU.

Languages. With Shopify Markets, one store can run Spanish, Catalan and English storefronts in local currencies.

Spain's online market in numbers

More than half of that quarter's online spending by Spanish shoppers went to websites based outside Spain. That's the opening for Spanish brands that sell direct on their own Shopify store.

A real working-day overlap with our US team

Barcelona's afternoon is the US East Coast's morning, so we get three shared working hours most days:

The shift during those two short periods happens because Europe and the US change their clocks on different dates.

We use that window for weekly calls and same-day answers, send written updates and Loom walkthroughs between calls, and schedule launches for Barcelona business hours.

What we build for Spanish brands

New Shopify and Shopify Plus builds, migrations from PrestaShop, WooCommerce and Magento, subscriptions, B2B wholesale, Shopify POS, and ERP or 3PL integrations.

What it costs

Full builds start from US$20,000 and typically take 8 to 12 weeks. Retainers start from US$3,000 a month. We bill in US dollars, by milestone.

Shopify's plan fee is separate. Plus starts at US$2,300 a month on a 3-year term, and current euro prices for other plans are on Shopify's Spanish pricing page.

Projects that show how we work

We don't have a published Spanish case study yet. Our European work includes a bundle-builder app for Medik8, the UK skincare brand, deployed across its international Shopify stores. These three results are the closest fit for Barcelona brands:

• Manukora, New Zealand. An international DTC brand selling far from its home market. After we rebuilt its Shopify store, subscription conversions rose 32% and its returning customer rate rose 20%.
• Lifelines. Relevant if your shop runs separately from your main site. We merged its two domains into one Shopify store, and sessions grew 171%.
• Alp N Rock. Relevant for fashion brands. Our apparel theme rebuild cut page load time by about 40% with zero SEO impact.

Should you hire a local Barcelona agency instead?

Sometimes, yes. Choose a Barcelona agency if you want to meet in person, work in Spanish or pay in euros. Fantasticfy, a Shopify Plus partner, and e-mpact are both based in Barcelona and listed on the Shopify Partner Directory.

Choose us if you want a Platinum-tier partner, a migration record you can check, and a team that knows the US market. We're not the right fit for projects under US$20,000 or for Hydrogen headless builds.
